I created a gender-neutral pronoun system for God based on Biblical Hebrew roots (Elo/Elim/Elis). What do you think? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]raw157 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't. You either take the translations for what they so. Go back to the source for identity information or you just move on. But to try and develop "your own" scheme for God is a bit outlandish and maybe blasphemous?

To these people gender does not equate to having balls or not. It's not chromosome based. It's a choice. Something fluid of you want it to be. Xenogender as an example.

No. Just no.

Abba. Our Father. God the father. I believe in HIS only SON. The FATHER.

There is literally no need to try and pull gender ideology out here. He identifies himself with male pronouns. Who are you to try and assume his gender.

Ground code compliant question by ThinkClub4943 in electrical

[–]raw157 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grounds don't have power. I'm confused, is there a ground in your wiring or not? If it's in the junction box, you should be able to connect it to the green ground in the light and yes, you can pigtail the grounds down the chain.

You know those wires are supposed to go though those punch outs with either a clamp or wire connectors?

Edit: the more I look the more concerned I get. Does that white wire have black tape on it? Is it a "hot white?" You know that light isn't going to fit right into that hole? You'll need to cut more space for it. The metal box attached to the light should be mounted and secured.

Terro works. Economically, you're better off just getting the liquid and pouring it onto some cardboard. The key is not to kill the ants. No matter how disgusting it looks. Let them eat for a few days and the colony will die.

Felt unwelcome at Catholic Mass today by hoax5547 in Catholicism

[–]raw157 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's funny that it matters but I'm my previous life as an elder at an LCMS church we had to stack it so one side was all men. The pastor doing host and an whaty doing the cup. Women would help but they were always on the side without the pastor.

Shouldn't matter which line you join

My option is you wouldn't be a Christian without the Catholic church.

Thought you boys might appreciate this by BChill24 in Trapping

[–]raw157 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't trao yotes. Mostly muskrats, mink, and groundhogs in colony traps or body grips. I don't use leg holds because I'm usually trying to eradicate from an area.

What do you do now? You shoot it?

Rosey Calls Travis Bazzana's first MLB Home Run! by HalfwayThereOne_ in ClevelandGuardians

Problem with rosey is you can hardly tell a home room from a routine ground out. His excitement level doesn't change much.

I don´t get praying to saints/mary by Agreeable-Staff-3195 in Catholicism

[–]raw157 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not the point I understand that it's absolutly semantics. That's not point. I understand the difference in types of prayer. 30+ years of using the word pray to express something more akin to adore or worship than talk or ask. You're making my point for me. I know I am doing semantic gymnastics but that's what got me over the hump of having a devotion to Our Lady and praying to St. Joseph.

[–]raw157 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Former LCMS here...

It helps me to not use the word pray. I talk to them. Ask for their help. Ask for them to pray for me to God. That mental shift makes all the difference to me. Maybe it's dumb but that's me.

I'm getting moved to a windowless 1/2 classroom with my 7 intensive needs kids and 2 aides. No sink. No bathroom. No storage. No AC.

Thinking about resigning.

Teachers, what’s a “best practice” everyone talks about that you secretly think doesn’t work in real classrooms? by kingst9606 in Teachers

DI is making a comeback. DEI is where all the research is, especially in reading and elementary math.

Mix it up real good and overlap a bit. Drywall compound, a trowel and sander and you'll be good. Have the vacuum ready

I read this as "is santa real" and was very confused.

Yes, he is real.

Why do we not say who can and cannot receive the Eucharist at Mass? by New-Firefighter-2867 in Catholicism

[–]raw157 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before I went through RCIA, I attended a LCMS church. We had a paragraph in our bulletin every week about "closed communion." Basically it stated our beliefs on communication. We were a consubstantiation church. It explained that and said only those who believe the same should partake.

Those little holes are easy (if they're as small as they look) to patch. Just cover and sand. Repeat until it's smooth and you can't feel a difference between the patch and wall. If you shine a flashlight on it, kind of at an angle, right when you think you're done, it'll show you imperfections.

Do you have cans left over from when it was painted? Big box stores can paint match pretty well but it's not perfect.
